The concept is created by Dr. John Gottman, who says It stops the busyness in your brain and puts your focus on your partner."
Well, TikTok users have gotten word of this sweet advise and are screaming it from the rooftop.
This one user who goes by the name "the angry therapist" says when we are in a relationship kissing changes from a way of exploring our partner to more of a handshake or a gateway to other things."
